I saw a thread for testing for dinoflagellates with hydrogen peroxide ages ago and I cant find it again. I have searched and searched..... It was something to do with if the algae floated or not after exposure to hydrogen peroxide.

Anyone know what I mean or where the thread is? I don’t have a microscope or I would use that

I've heard of people using hydrogen peroxide to get rid of some algae, not necessarily dinoflagellates. And I've never heard of it being used to test for it. So I'll watch to see if anybody has the info you are looking for.

See above Ron, I need a microscope for the definitive test but the floatation test and the straining through filter paper show positive so far so I think its dino’s :(
